So after having seen The Book of Mormon in Sydney for the 3rd time (yes, that’s right; I’ve gone three times), I think it’s safe to say that I can provide a pretty sound, detailed review of this entertainment gem bestowed upon us by the South Park gods. I’m talking about Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the brilliant minds behind Cannibal! The Musical, Team America, and of course – everyone’s favorite lewd, crude, satirical cartoon.

More than just an easily accessible cure for a bad day, sitcoms also provide an escape from the real world with often zany and dysfunctional storylines that usually keep us watching for the entire 20-minute timeframe.

But there’s a (probably not-so) secret ingredient to all successful comedy shows, and it’s more than just having the quick and sharp wit of a budding Tina Fey. No – good comedic shows have something much deeper – they have heart.
